A police officer has gone on a shooting rampage in Kenya, killing at least 10 people, officials say, reports BBC.
The shootings happened in Siakago, 90 miles (150km) north-east of the capital, Nairobi.
Local media say the officer opened fire in three different bars, killing one person in each of the first two bars and eight people in the third bar.
He then tried to shoot himself but had run out of ammunition so gave himself up, police said.
"He has not talked and the motive is not clear," said district commissioner John Chelimo.
He said the suspect, who is in his 30s and worked as a guard at his residence, had apparently gone out on Saturday evening looking for a female friend but could not find her.
